Hot off the School Library Journal blog, a chance to meet some BIG time authors! This opportunity takes place at the National Book Festival in Washington, DC, on September 29–rain or shine! Best its free! Anyone want to head out to DC with me? I’d love to attend. Here is some specific info:
This year marks the seventh year of the National Book Festival sponsored by the Library of Congress, which celebrates the joy of reading and the creativity of America’s writers and illustrators. “The National Book Festival welcomes all Americans to the National Mall to celebrate reading and meet with some of the most-loved authors from across the country,” Bush said. “Readers of all ages can discover the joys of new books and fall in love again with old favorites.”
In addition to Wiesner, this year’s Caldecott Award-winner; Anderson, winner of the 2006 National Book Award for Young People’s Literature; and Yang, who received the Michael Printz Award for excellence in literature for young adults, Coretta Scott King award winner Ashley Bryan, and Newbery Award-winners Patricia MacLachlan and E. L. Konigsburg will also be present.
